This Senior Citizen has alot more to learn.. I have Zaxwerks Pro, which I really like. But I don't have AE or Illustrator, which I can't afford. Seems every program today, one needs After Effects. Anyway the tutorial was fantastic. Was refreshing to watch someone who knows what they are doing , and of course the imagination to use the tools along w/the mind.. I need to find AE at a reasonble price. Regards Richard
